Hello I got a question. So pretend I wanted to make ADW EX as a system app how should I do that. Also I have tried it using root explorer but I keep getting Force closes when I put it as a system app. Any suggestions would be nice. Thanks

Did you set the permissons correctly? And did uninstall it before you moved it?

In terminal
Su
mv /data/app/com.android.ADWEX.launcher-1.apk /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk
That's exmaple how to do it.. jus put the proper name for adw ex and from there should be good i, I do ths with LP all the time
Well if you're using a custom rom then you can open the rom .zip with something like 7zip, navigate to system>app then drag and drop ADW EX in there. Flash the rom like normal and you're done. That's how I do it.
There's also the terminal method mentioned by ilostchild, though what was forgot is mounting the system as rw
mount -o remount,rw /system
There's also ADB which is done the exact same way aside from having to tell adb to operate in a shell.

hey.
anybody knows here how to install system app (htc calendar widget) via terminal emulator. i have copy that file to the root of sd card../???
If it is an apk file and it is on the root of your SD card then use any file manager such as astro or root file manager to locate the apk and select it and the phone should automatically recognize it..
If you actually want to do it through terminal I am not sure

I tried to write it out in your flash player thread a few down.I like ES file explorer because it has its own editor. You'll need to go into settings and under file settings check show hidden files. Then check up /, and check root access

Try this first!
In terminal emulator
type: su [enter] (allow if prompted)
find / -iname .nomedia
Then look for an entry in the root of the sdcard, in other words:
/mnt/sdcard/.nomedia
You will probably see a few results. If the line above appears in that list, then type:
rm /mnt/sdcard/.nomedia
This will remove the rogue file...

I've tried to do this but I could not find the file in the terminal. Thanx though... I found out that you just go into root browser lite (root explorer, etc.) And delete the file. Then update rom manager and reboot

Don't format follow these steps.
1. Go into root browser lite (root explorer, etc.)
2. Go to sdcard and the should be a .nomedia file after all your folders. Delete it.
3. Update Rom Manager
4. Reboot.
Let me know if this helped you

I purchased a 32gb micro memory card (class 10) for my beloved Note2. Then I updated my Google Chrome browser for Android. I made it my default browser. I noticed, all my files I download goes to my internal phone memory.
I tried to figure out how to change the default download directory, with no success. It's just not possible. I'm coming from stock browser, which uses external memory. Also, Dolphin HD browser uses external memory, but not Chrome!
Not Chrome!
Someone correct me but, may have to do with Nexus phones not having an SD card slot and its probably the Nexus' default browser? For some reason they carried that throughout?
Yeah, i thought of that also. But for us with removable external memory cards, it's a pain to keep manually moving my downloaded "stuff" from the storage/sdcard0/download folder to the storage/extSdCard/downIoad folder. It's a shame they can't put it in the settings somewhere.
You could probably use one of the bind Mount utilities from the market to mount the download directory over to the external card.

However, I would need a rooted phone.
Don't misunderstand me. I rooted all my Android phones up to my Note 2 (Vibrant, G2, SGS2) however not my Note 2 yet. Its because I use Isis wallet.

How about a download manager? I have been researching for a solution, and came across these download managers. I noticed that If you install these apps, when you attempt to download anything, it asks if you want to use the download manager or "internet". Why can't the download manager point to my "download" folder on my external SD card.

You would need one that's configurable for that. I imagine that's more up to the download manager app than anything else. There has to be one that lets you pick the destination directory.
You could also try something like Script Manager, write a quick script to copy the files over to the external, then delete them from the internal. It wouldn't need root as the sdcard directories don't respect permissions by design. Then set it to run once an hour or similar. The "script" could be as simple as "mv /sdcard/download/* /extSdCard/" .... Assuming "mv" doesn't get angry about them being different filesystems. If not, a "cp" followed by an "rm" would do the same thing. Or you could get fancy and use a loop to check that the files got copied over before deleting the original... lots of options.
Google's hate toward removable storage is irritating.

If you are going that route why not just choose the stock Android browser for downloads and that has an option to download to memory card? You would have to clear defaults in Chrome if you already had chosen to use that to download as default.
I use the download manager that comes with ES File Explorer as my default downloader. All downloads go to my sd card.

But can't you select the stock browser for downloads only as default until Google fixes the Chrome app?

I guess I can switch browsers, only use the stock browser for downloads and chrome browser for surfing. However, I want to stick to only one.

This is how you do it: install es file explorer --> open it and go to settings --> select directory settings --> then download path. Pick your SD card. Open chrome and surf to a download of some sort. A pop up should appear and ask how you want to download the file. Choose es file and select always. Done.

If you mean you are removing the stock browser then the options are a third party app as suggested by a few here, but if you leave the stock browser on your phone, once you select that to use to download as default it will be the same as a third party app. It will just download.

Quite an easy fix actually. It requires you to decompile the app, though. If you know how to do that with an SDK tool I can provide you with the modified app file.

Sure! Decompiling sounds scary, plus if I was to figure out how to change the default directory, any updates would totally revert it back. But, having said all that, I will look into how to do such a feat. Thanks.

Nope, didn’t work for me. It seems logical, and it should work, however I can't get it to work correctly from a website I routinely download from that requires a cookie. For some reason the stock downloader app works fine, along with the stock browser, but not Chrome.
I get a download fail everytime I use ES File Explorer along with Chrome browser.
